India’s Lovepreet Singh produced a sensational display of power in the Men’s +110kg Snatch event on July 30 setting a new Commonwealth Games record with a commanding lift that showcased his talent.
On the final day of Glasgow 2026 weightlifting competitions at the SEC Armadillo, the 28-year-old set a new Commonwealth Games snatch record of 176kg and finished with a total lift of 388kg, missing the gold by just 1kg after a thrilling contest.
The previous games record is thought to be 173kg but it is not confirmed who set the record or when.
“I thought I would win gold after snatch but it was up to God. A little disappointed that I couldn’t lift in my final attempt in clean and jerk. I have lifted more in training,” said Lovepreet.
The silver improved Lovepreet’s bronze winning effort from the previous Games in Birmingham and completed India’s weightlifting campaign with eight medals — one gold, six silver and one bronze.
